Stephen Phillips QC (born 9 March 1970) is a British Conservative Party politician, barrister and part-time Crown Court judge who represented the constituency of Sleaford and North Hykeham as its Member of Parliament (MP) until 4 November 2016, when he announced that he was standing down with immediate effect, because of irreconcilable policy differences with Theresa May's government.[1][2]

Although he voted for Brexit in the June 2016 EU Referendum, Phillips accused PM Theresa May of "tyranny", claiming she has “no authority or mandate to adopt a negotiating position without reference to the wishes of the House of Commons and those of the British people expressed through their elected representatives”:

“I did not vote Leave to see one tyranny that failed to consult this House, in the form of the European Commission, replaced by another in the form of a Government who fail to listen to what this House thinks about their negotiating position."[3]

The resulting 2016 Sleaford by-election is scheduled to take place on 8 December 2016.[4]
